2015 polo gti

[phaeton]

I am one of the lucky ones to have road tested one of these pocket rockets and I have to say I could not smiling .

It was amazing the 0 to 50km/h acceleration just made me want to drive round the corners a lot more.
I could not believe how firm the suspension was over little potholes and manhole covers with every bump being felt through the steering wheel - it was not to intrusive actually reminded me of the Karmann Ghia a bit. The steering was very precise and you could easily have lots of fun in this Polo.The stop/start I have to say was not intrusive and worked well when wanting to accelerate briskly.
The only negative I could see is the tiny boot bar folding seats down.

Thanks to Sam Langman @ Solitaire Hawthorn for the test drive

ps ATM its No.1 on my shortlist of next VWs that said its the first of the 4 VWs I want to drive Golf Alltrack, Tiguan II and Caddy IV before I buy for my 30th in 2016.

My mate fits enourmous amounts of house renovating materials into his Polo.

I fit 2 bicycles in the boot once. Seats folded down, wheels taken off. Awesome. Couldn't fit a single baby pram though (boot hatch opening too narrow)

Boot space is my primary concern, coming from a Jetta with a cavernous boot. The Golf Gti has a bigger boot but still will need the seats folded down for my required space. Alternative is the Skoda Octavia RS which is cheaper than a Golf Gti. Both Golf and Skoda is unfortunately $10k more

Hmmm yeah you would want to think very carefully before getting the Polo then.

Picked up my White Manual with Lux and DA Pack last week. Haven't been able to stop smiling while driving . The manual box is an absolute beauty. I was driving a borrowed auto S-line A1 1.4 TFSI Sport for a little while prior to last week and the polo suspension actually feels very gentle & luxurious compared to that but still is firm where required if cornering at speed. will have to line the Audi and the Polo up against each other

Is there a free 1000km service on new VW Polo for run-in oil change etc besides the capped priced servicing at 15,000km

My dealer said they(the dealer) provide a 1500km check over but mentioned nothing about an oil change.

My dealer told me no check up just see you at the 15,000km service

[maxrob200]

That's a shame that no free service is provided at 1000 km, we have bought two Hyundai i30 over tha past 4 years and there was a free 1000km service with both cars. I have never recalled not getting a free service with any new vehicle that I've bought over the years. Sign of the times? Maybe one has to negotiate for free service at the time of purchase nowadays

What's the price the new polo Gti is going for in Australia?
